i just thought of something disgusting--atkins had gonnorhea so bad she couldn't wear shoes the night of the tate murders yet she had sex with someone later that night. i guess the green goo could have acted like a lubricant.

This wasn't just Sadie, or a 'Family' thing - lots of kids in Cali had the clap in the late 60's. They reckon all the bar girls in Saigon had the clap; every GI Joe who was normal went with one of these and it all came back to Uncle Sam. And some of these strains were penicillen resistant ...

Tom, we aren't that different in our opinions of Sadie. I don't like her nefarious ways, but I have her picture as my avatar because she reminds me of myself in a way...she was an instigator, a rebellious little troublemaker.

Jesus his ownself paid a personal visit to Susan Atkins in the segregated death row unit at the California Institute for Women back in the 70's.

Bright lights, flooding of emotions, all of that.

So resolved to repent and give herself to her Lord, that our Susie, demanded and got, while an inmate at CIW, her own personal Baptism tank....donated by a well-wisher ( maybe you bloggers can find out who ).

To wit, Leslie Van Houten, ever the acid tongued, quipped, They should dunk her three times and only pull her up twice.

I would have loved to have been a Correctional Officer on that unit back then.

"Charlie Manson is a five foot seven schizophrenic, who if it weren't for the murder of Sharon Tate, would never be known or discussed. And I'm not saying he isn't funny and entertaining. I'm saying he's a dime a dozen criminal-class punk, who had the good fortune of running into some middle class pseudo-revolutionary white girls." -- Tom G
